How to Use This Midway, Alabama Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Midway, Alabama. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Alabama or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Midway.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Midway holds the quiet, clay-heavy earth of the inland South, where the slow crawl of the McWhorter Branch carves a persistent path through the landscape. It lies 3.4 miles east-southeast of Boaz, AL (from Boaz, AL: bearing 119°T), and is situated 8.3 miles southeast of Albertville. The horizon is defined by the modest, rounded silhouette of Aurora Mountain, four miles distant, which watches over a terrain of dense hardwoods and the persistent, humid stillness of longleaf pine stands. At the edge of the local geography, the land dips into the shadowed, cooler air of Neighbors Hollow, while the proximity of Guntersville Lake thirteen miles away offers a vast, stationary expanse of water that anchors the regional moisture. The atmosphere here is thick with the scent of damp soil and the muted light of afternoon, a stillness that seems to linger long after the sun has begun to retreat behind the pines.

Midway maintains a steady, deliberate pace rooted in the agricultural cycles of the red-clay plains, where pecan groves and peach orchards define the local economy. Sardis Community Park serves as the central point for local gathering, a place where the social history of the region is felt in the simple, unadorned maintenance of the land. The echoes of civil-rights memory remain ingrained in the local character, a quiet weight that shapes the community’s identity as much as the shifting demands of modern industry. Life in Midway is practiced in the small, repetitive actions of seasonal labor and the endurance of its residents, who navigate a world that is less concerned with the frantic speed of the outside world than with the maintenance of their own particular corner of the Alabama interior.

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Midway, Alabama. Coordinates: 32.076373, -85.524417. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Midway includes the ZIP code (36861, 36042, 36728), telephone area code (334, 251), county seat of Etowah County (Gadsden), and school district assignment (Bullock County School District).

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
